Remember your reusable bags this week.

The Défi Survivre Sans Emballage asks you to join the challenge to live without plastic bags and other packaging. The week-long challenge organised by Les Éditions le Mémento, a non-profit organisation that promotes citizen action in Quebec, starts today and continues through October 26. The idea is to bring your own bags when you go shopping and your own coffee mug to the café, thereby reducing the amount of garbage generated by packaging.

The goal is to have 10,000 fewer packaging items used this week. Participants can register all the bags and disposable cups they did not use on the organisation's website at www.sansemballage.org.
